[Been here for almost two weeks now, he thinks.
Going out has been a struggle for Alex that not many know about—mainly just one guy about a week ago who figured out he wasn't very social. Not that many people know he exists here to begin with; he's perfectly content to be invisible, soak into the metaphorical corner where he tended to always settle. Even now he's only gone out a few times (if only to humor that one guy who will probably drag him back out again if he didn't at least say he left). He mainly ventured out after nightmares, or when he feels stuffy. Or when he needs food or a bathroom.
Otherwise? Still sort of an awkward turtle, and his attempts to mingle have been zero. But he's actually picking up his device for once and considers maybe using it. Maybe.
... Well, might as well give it a try. He does have an important question.]
Anyone know where I can find bullets for a gun?
[God, initiating conversation was never his strong suit.]
It's a Mk 23 pistol; they didn't stock me with anything, so I figured I might as well ask, in case anyone has something. I don't plan on using it, but it pays to be prepared for the worst. [He scratches his forehead, wondering if something like that was a little too hopeful. Finding good ammunition in a place like this, that is.] ... Maybe it's a pretty lousy request, knowing how hard some things are to find around here. Wherever 'here' is. We could be just about anywhere, could we? It's pretty damn weird, even if it's not new to me... To be honest, I kinda thought I was hallucinating or something when I first got here.
[And then he's lost in thought for a moment... Actually, it reminds him of something else. Something distant, but something he loved a lot. For whatever it was worth.]
Kinda' sucks about the lack of weather, though. I wasn't a fan of winter, but... I would've liked to see some summer days around. My hometown was foggy or cold or wet a lot of the time, but during the summer? It was pretty sunny. A little more busy, too... Nice. Didn't mind the place as much when it was like that.
[One thing he liked about Shepherd's Glen. Summer break was a great time to escape the house and do whatever the hell he wanted.
He supposes that's all unimportant now that he's grown up and gone from a ghost town.]

[She was about ready to end the transmission, when she realized that she hadn't even introduced herself through all of this.] Oh! Uh - I'm Laughing Beauty, by the way. Heehee... that's what they called me back home, anyway. LB is fine though too.

I guess I'll see you around?

See you around.
[Hopefully in good circumstances, anyway.
This place seems to be a coin toss.]
